ABOUT
THE ESSENCE OF KAKUN
More than bespoke retreats, breathwork sessions or a coaching practice, Kakun is a living container for transformation.
It’s a space to slow down, to soften, and to listen to the quiet truth within.
Each experience, whether a one-on-one session, a weekly breathwork gathering, or a multi-day retreat immersed in nature, is designed to help you come home to your inner knowing through breath, embodiment, and emotional healing.
THE WAY WE WORK
Our work is rooted in the intuition of the body, the wisdom of the breath, and the quiet power of being witnessed exactly as you are.
Transformation isn’t something we force; it unfolds naturally when we create space to feel, release, and remember.
Each experience, retreat, breathwork, or coaching, is held with reverence for your nervous system, your emotions, and your own timing.
WHAT WE OFFER
COACHING
For people who are capable on the outside but dysregulated on the inside, and ready to stop reacting and start living from a place of clarity, trust, and self-authority.
RETREATS
Small, intentional gatherings in extraordinary places. A return to what matters. Through breathwork, movement, creativity, and stillness, each Kakun retreat becomes a living space for renewal.
OUR WHY
Because we all need spaces that help us feel again.
Because play is an integral part of the human experience.
Because healing doesn’t need to be heavy.
Because you are already enough, just as you are.
Because presence changes everything.
That’s what Kakun stands for.
Meet Jacquelyn
I'm Jacquelyn, founder of Kakun, somatic coach, breathwork guide, and retreat host.
Almost seven years ago, I was working in finance in New York City. Burnt out, disconnected, unraveling. I knew something had to change, so I left and moved to Mexico to find out what actually lit me up.
What I discovered was a deep pull toward gathering people. I started hosting dinners, intimate events, retreats. And over time, what became clear was this: I have a profound passion for helping people break down their walls and reconnect to themselves.
That's what all of this is, at its core.
Since then, I've trained in over 400 hours of conscious connected breathwork through Alchemy of Breath, and am currently studying Somatic Experiencing and Compassionate Inquiry — trauma-informed frameworks that help people heal not just through insight, but through the body itself.
I work with people who are capable on the outside but dysregulated on the inside. People who have done the therapy, read the books, and still find themselves reacting in ways that don't feel like them. What they need isn't more information, it's integration. A space to feel, release, and slowly rebuild trust with themselves.
My approach is slow, precise, and deeply relational. I'll meet you where you are, in the grief, the stuckness, the in-between, and walk with you as you find your way back.
IN THEIR WORDS
"Jacquelyn curated an unbelievably personal space for people to come together and share love, empathy, and understanding in ways I've never experienced before. What unfolded was a journey where people formed friendships and shared parts of themselves they probably hadn't even acknowledged before."
— Retreat guest
"Jacquelyn holds a softness that creates safety, which allows you to go deep with trust. The music, her guidance, the space she builds, it allowed for such deep release. She holds a beautiful, nurturing, grounded energy."
— Breathwork
"I've been in therapy for years, but what Jacquelyn offers is different. She creates a space that's both grounding and expansive, where I can connect not just with my thoughts, but with my body, my breath, and a deeper part of myself I'd forgotten how to access. I walk away from each session feeling more rooted in who I am."
